All in All

Seems my life has been short lived
With all it’s pain and sorrows
But all in all it’s been quite good
Just wished I had more tomorrows.

I now look back to see
All that life has been
Giving thanks to God up above;
For my family and each friend.

For each and every blessing,
He gave along life’s way
And all He’s ever done for me
And answered prayes that I’d pray.

There are places that I’ve never seen
And roads I’ve never traveled
Stories yet I’ve not been told
And puzzles yet to unravel.

But all in all I’ve had my share
Tho may not be all what life has to give.
But I have loved most every day
And I’m so glad I’ve lived.

If I were allowed to live again
And know what I know now
I'd live it just the way I’ve done
But ask for more time than thou.
